relic is a multi-tool and server for package signing and working with hardware security modules (HSMs).

Package types

  • RPM - RedHat packages
  • DEB - Debian packages
  • JAR - Java archives
  • EXE (PE/COFF) - Windows executable
  • MSI - Windows installer
  • appx, appxbundle - Windows universal application
  • CAB - Windows cabinet file
  • CAT - Windows security catalog
  • XAP - Silverlight and legacy Windows Phone applications
  • PS1, PS1XML, MOF, etc. - Microsoft Powershell scripts and modules
  • manifest, application - Microsoft ClickOnce manifest
  • VSIX - Visual Studio extension
  • APK - Android package
  • PGP - inline, detached or cleartext signature of data

Token types

relic can work with several types of token:

  • pkcs11 - Industry standard PKCS#11 HSM interface using shared object files
  • scdaemon - The GnuPG scdaemon service can enable access to OpenPGP cards (such as Yubikey NEO)
  • file - Private keys stored in a password-protected file

Features

Relic is primarily meant to operate as a signing server, allowing clients to authenticate with a TLS certificate and sign packages remotely. It can also be used as a standalone signing tool.

Other features include:

  • Generating and importing keys in the token
  • Importing certificate chains from a PKCS#12 file
  • Creating X509 certificate signing requests (CSR) and self-signed certificates
  • Limited X509 CA support -- signing CSRs and cross-signing certificates
  • Creating simple PGP public keys
  • RSA and ECDSA supported for all signature types
  • Verify signatures, certificate chains and timestamps on all supported package types
  • Sending audit logs to an AMQP broker, with an optional sealing signature
  • Save token PINs in the system keyring

Platforms

Linux and Windows are supported. Other platforms probably work as well.

relic is tested using libsofthsm2 and Gemalto SafeNet Network HSM (Luna SA). Every vendor PKCS#11 implementation has quirks, so if relic doesn't work with your hardware please submit a pull request.

Installation

  1. Install ltdl development headers, i.e. a. dnf install libtool-ltdl-devel or b. apt-get install libltdl-dev
  2. go get github.com/sassoftware/relic

relic can also be built as a client-only tool, removing the dependency on ltdl, by building with -tags pure or by disabling cgo.

See distro/linux/relic.yml for an example configuration.
